Answer: c. The VW engineers involved were ethically obligated to hold paramount the health, welfare and safety of the public even if their supervisors directed them to implement software and hardware that enabled cheating on the emissions testing software.
Explanation: The National Society of professional Engineers, NSPE define the code of ethics which must guide engineers in their duty. These codes act as principles of personal conduct, towards the public and their employers.
One of the areas covered by these codes is overriding importance of the safety and health of the public to any other factor. In addition, engineers are to avoid deception and maintain the reputation of their profession. These cannot be sacrificed for the financial gain of their employers or explained away by saying they are following the direction of their employers. While they have certain responsibilities to their employers, the health welfare and safety of the public is more important.
Answer:
La ciencia y la ingeniería conciben el mundo como comprensible, con reglas que gobiernan su funcionamiento y que a través de un estudio cuidadoso y sistemático se puede evidenciar mediante patrones consistentes que permitan la oportunidad de examinar las características fundamentales que mejor describen los fenómenos.
Explanation:
This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
For a steel alloy it has been determined that a carburizing heat treatment of 11.3 h duration at Temperature T1 will raise the carbon concentration to 0.44 wt% at a point 1.8 mm from the surface. A separate experiment is performed at T2 that doubles the diffusion coefficient for carbon in steel.
Estimate the time necessary to achieve the same concentration at a 4.9 mm position for an identical steel and at the same carburizing temperature T2.
Answer:
the required time to achieve the same concentration at a 4.9 is 83.733 hrs
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
treatment time t₁ = 11.3 hours
Carbon concentration = 0.444 wt%
thickness at surface x₁ = 1.8 mm = 0.0018 m
thickness at identical steel x₂ = 4.9 mm = 0.0049 m
Now, Using Fick's second law inform of diffusion
/ Dt = constant
where D is constant
then
/ t = constant
/ t₁ = / t₂
t₂ = t₁
t₂ = t₁ /
t₂ = ( / )t₁
t₂ = / × t₁
so we substitute
t₂ = 0.0049 / 0.0018 × 11.3 hrs
t₂ = 7.41 × 11.3 hrs
t₂ = 83.733 hrs
Therefore, the required time to achieve the same concentration at a 4.9 is 83.733 hrs
Answer:
The value of Modulus of elasticity E = 85.33 ×
Beam deflection is = 0.15 in
Explanation:
Given data
width = 5 in
Length = 60 in
Mass of the person = 125 lb
Load = 125 × 32 = 4000
We know that moment of inertia is given as
I = 1.40625
Deflection = 0.15 in
We know that deflection of the beam in this case is given as
Δ =
E = 85.33 ×
This is the value of Modulus of elasticity.
Beam deflection is = 0.15 in
